Our Story
The Maine C**n Cat...... There are many stories of how the Maine C**n originated, but I like this one..... legend goes, an English sea captain, named Captain C**n, who was excessively fond of cats, sailed up and down the New England coast with his army of cats. Predominant in the group were his longhairs - the Persians and Angoras that were popular in England. When the captain went ashore, so did his beautiful cats. When people around town would see one of these beautiful long-haired cats or when longhaired kittens began appearing in local litters, the town people would comment that must be "one of C**n's cats." Another story like noted with CFA....The More romantic versions of the Maine C**n Cat's development have been handed down over the years. The first involves Captain Samuel Clough and Marie Antoinette. Captain Clough was one of the principals (or so the legend goes) in a plot designed to smuggle the French queen out of France and bring her to Wiscasset, Maine. The scheme was cut short, but not before Clough had loaded his ship, the Sally, with luxurious furnishings, priceless bric-a-brac, some of the queen's personal belongings, and six of her favorite pet cats. While Clough waited, there was a sudden outburst of violence. Marie Antoinette was seized, and eventually beheaded. Captain Clough had to make sail with all haste to escape repercussions for his part in the attempted rescue and with him went the queen's possessions and the six longhaired cats still in his care. It is assumed that the queen's cats bred with the American cats and voilˆ - the origin of the Maine C**n Cat. The Maine C**n Cat Standard The Maine C**n Cat is a massive, broad chested cat with a long rectangular body and the fur is long and flowing. The males average around 12 to 15 pounds, with some going 20 pounds or more. The females are smaller, averaging 9 to 12 pounds. The Maine C**n Cat's coat is shorter on the shoulders and longer on the stomach and britches. The texture is silky with the coat falling smoothly. The Maine C**n Cat is slow to mature, often not reaching full development until three to four years of age. The Maine C**n Cat has five color classes: solid, tabby, tabby with white, parti-color, and other Maine C**n Cat colors. Classic tabby, mackerel tabby and patched tabby are the only recognized patterns. The Maine C**n Cat is a gentle, loyal breed. They make wonderful family pets and get along well with children and dogs. Depending on the breed of dog, the Maine C**n Cat can be bigger than Fido. They are a vocal breed, with a variety of meows, trills and chirps to make up their vocabularies. They are sociable and like to help their owners with any project, especially when the owner is reading or working on the crossword puzzle.
